Which view and size did you make? I made a size 42
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes
If not, why? -
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
If not, why? -
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the style and the fit. It went together easily and the fit was right on like I expect from Ottobre. I love how the lining finishes the skirt nicely. It looks great even though only I know its there.
Fabric used Quilting cotton and poly lining fabric
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend I didn't need any alterations. I did put on the contrast hem slightly different then the instructions. I simply treated the inside and outside pieces as one and sewed it to the bottom of the skirt. I also ironed the seam towards the gores and top stitched it there instead of towards the band. Minor change that doesn't change the overall look. I just wanted the top stitching on the gores vs. the band.
Would you sew this pattern again? Yes
Would you recommend this pattern to others? Yes
Any additional comments I love the finished skirt and feel like making the full lining was worth the effort. The skirt hits me right below the knee. I'm 5'6".
